thematic structure
So I have been working on the thematic structure of my first piece.. Before I had visualised juxtaposing two sounds worlds (nature/man) however, have decided to focus on the ‘machine.’ I want to show how the idea of the ‘machine’ and more appropriately, technology has taken over humanity. (Making slight reference to Russolo’s futurist movement!)
The sounds I have been experimenting with exploit the natural rhythmical features produced by cars, motor-bikes and other traffic. The samples used in my composition though sound more like machines used in industrial factories.
The structure of my composition is a simple A-B-A which essentially introduces the initial motif, goes away from that idea before returning. I hope that the piece will be successful, but need to work on sequencing it first!
